ROME -- Comeback specialist Kostas Manolas scored the equaliser for Roma in a 3-3 draw with Atalanta in Serie A on Monday.

Eight minutes from time, in Roma's home opener, Manolas was waiting at the far post when a free kick from Aleksandar Kolarov came over the top, allowing the Greece centre-back to tap in.

With Roma having trailed 3-1 at half-time, Manolas' goal immediately brought back memories of his decisive late score in the 3-0 victory over Barcelona in last season's Champions League quarterfinal -- when Roma overturned a 4-1 first-leg deficit.

However, Edin Dzeko and Patrik Schick each missed solid chances at a winner.
